Hello friends of the OPNsense,
i´m trying to use the feature Periodic Interface Reset under System: Settings: Cron.
What i don´t know: There is no drop down menu to select the interface i want to reset, if i think correct i have to enter it under the field Parameters. Which name do i have to use? The name of the Interface configured under Description oder the device used?
In my current constellation i´m using a PPPoE connection of the Deutsche Telekom which is running a forced seperation every 24 hours. That´s why we need to time to a time without usage.
Best regards from germany

If you look at the docs, you need to use the internal interface name.

Hey CJ,
maybe my englisch is too poor, but i didn´t understand the documentation correct in the first tries....
After playing around and trying the possible names i realized that i cannot use my given description or the device name shown in the configuration of my interface. I´ve to go to Interfaces: Assignments where i can see the interface id which is working for the cron job.
Since i understood that the cron job is working and my problems are gone :-)
Best regards from germany

No worries. I missed that you were from Germany.
Glad you got it working. :)
